TEA THAT WE SHARE
Every tea I offered is designed with intention, from the taste, the climate and seasons we are in to the way each tea flows.
Grounding Ginger, Jujube & Longan Red Tea
This is a deeply warming, grounding blend designed to settle the nervous system and bring your awareness back to your body.
What you will need (for a medium-to-large teapot):
3-5g loose leaf red tea (You can beautifully replace this with 1-2 English Breakfast tea bags)
5 slices of fresh ginger
3 Jujube red dates (pits gently removed)
5-6 dried longan fruits
The Ritual:
Place the fresh ginger slices and pitted jujube dates into your teapot.
Pour freshly boiled water to fill about one-third of the pot, just enough to cover the ingredients.
Allow them to slowly brew and release their natural warmth for 15–20 minutes.
Add the red tea (or tea bags) and the dried longan fruits.
Fill the remainder of the teapot with hot water and let everything steep together for a final 3–5 minutes.
Pour slowly, breathe in the sweet aroma, and enjoy.
Where to find the ingredients: You can easily find Jujube Red Dates and Dried Longan at most East Asian supermarkets on Mill Road in Cambridge and Ely. Alternatively, you can order them online:
March - let it go🌸
Peach Blossom Spring:
Rose & Wuyi Rock Tea
This is a marriage of earth and bloom, designed to ground your energy while inviting a gentle release. The deep, mineral taste of the rock tea provide a steady anchor, while the aromatic rose moves what feels stuck, allowing your internal weather to shift toward lightness.
What you will need (for a medium-to-large teapot):
5–8g loose leaf Wuyi Rock Tea (You can beautifully replace this with 2 Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Oolong tea bags).
6–8 dried rose buds
The Ritual:
The Awakening: Place your rock tea and the rose buds into your teapot. Pour just enough hot water (95°C) to cover them. Swirl for five seconds and slowly pour away the liquid. This "rinse" awakens the leaves and invites the rose buds to begin their unfurling.
The First Bloom: Fill the teapot with freshly boiled water (allow the kettle to sit for one minute after boiling to reach the ideal temperature).
The Steep: Allow the blend to steep for 3–5 minutes. Observe the dark, twisted rock tea leaves opening alongside the softening pink petals.
The Pour: Pour slowly into your cup. Notice how the roasted, "charcoal" aroma of the tea harmonizes with the high floral notes of the rose.
The Savor: Take a sip and seek the the lingering, sweet mineral taste that stays with you long after the floral scent has faded.
The Somatic Invitation:
As you hold the warm cup, notice where your body feels a sense of "landing."
Can you feel the steam softening the space around your heart?
This is your time to be quiet and absorbed in the simple act of tea.
